Former Guilderland star Andrew Platek, a graduate transfer from North Carolina, made his season debut with Siena Friday night, but while Platek scored 12 points behind Jackson Stormo's game-high 25 points, Siena fell to 0-4 in losing to Georgetown, 83-65 at Capital One Arena. Platek didn't start the season until Friday as he was awaiting---and finally receiving----waivers from the NCAA. If that sounds familiar, Siena went through the same thing with Elijah Burns two years ago, and their baseball team had the same issue this past spring when Brett Young transferred from Virginia Commonwealth, and also needed waivers.
Former Saint Don Carey haunted his former team, scoring 20 for the Hoyas.
The Saints return home Monday to play Harvard, which beat UAlbany on Wednesday night.

The scene shifts to Long Island for tonight's game.
==================================
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake's Class A regional vs. Somers was moved up a day to Friday. The Spartans got good news earlier in the week after Section II officials rescinded coach Matt Shell's ejection from the Super Bowl a week ago, allowing him to be on the sidelines vs. Somers.
Unfortunately, that was the only good news for the Spartans.
Somers, which ended Burnt Hills' runs in 2017-18, has proven to be the Spartans' kryptonite, shutting down Burnt Hills in the first half, and only allowing two 4th quarter touchdowns, one each on offense and defense, in eliminating the Spartans for the 3rd time in 5 seasons, 48-14.
====================================
To the uninitiated, the city of Tuckahoe usually means the 70's TV series, Maude, which was set in the city. Tuckahoe High is hoping to change that perception.
However, Greenwich High had something to say about that. The Witches cast a collective spell on Tuckahoe at Mechanicville on Friday, leading to a 41-20 win and a trip to the semi-finals next week at Middletown vs. Moriah.
Meanwhile, Class B champion Ravena dominated Peru at CBA, 39-21.
The Class AA & C games take place today.
